This is the secret celebrity stunt sewing project I did for Joanna Figuera of Fig Tree Quilts. The quilt has had its reveal at Market, and now I can share the story with you. Out of the blue, Joanna sent me an email asking if I would be willing to make a quilt top for […]
My stars, that was a bit of a flurry yesterday! I guess the Grab Bag idea is popular! I will have more of those, you can count on it. Next time, maybe purples and greens. Lots of greens. Thanks to those of you who are helping me clear the stash out. I had a […]
My sewing room is a total disgrace. Things have gotten so far away from me that I couldn't get in there and find anything, much less SEW. The Tuesday Sales have been a great help in clearing out some shelf space and showing me some hidden treasures I had forgotten I had. See, there […]
Hey, everyone, it's me Ozzie. That darn Sophie has been stealing the lime light lately, so I thought I would give you an update on how I am getting along. She is a trial to live with, but I am coping pretty well. As you can see from the picture above (don't I look dapper?), […]
Friday Favorites! Thought I'd share a few of my faves for this week. Photo: Sophie with a rawhide bone. What can I say? She is intense. Everything she does, she does it full force, no holds back. We have had our issues with this strong willed little dog, but she has been behaving lately. She […]
The clock over the pantry door says it's Wine O'Clock as my dad likes to say. Here I am, home from my day at work, which was a good one, all in all. Time for a restorative and a bit of a walk about the yard. Glorious weather today, it was. About time. Won't you […]
Aren't these purple batiks yummy? I had a Bali Pop of 2 1/2 inch strips and made this over the weekend. It looks like a quilt for a monk's cell cot, but it isn't. The monks and I are on good terms, but are not that close. What it really is, is a cover for […]
This is the quilting design that the fabulous Debbie Thornton at Prairie Queens chose for the quilt I made for my favorite quilt celebrity Rock Star. Don't you love the design of high heeled pumps on the fabric Objects of Desire? OMG, this quilt is seriously adorable. I can't say too much more about it […]
I was not able to go to work today. On Friday I had an appointment with my doctor for my annual check up. I am doing pretty well–weight is acceptable, blood pressure a teensy bit high, and cholesterol needs attention. Nothing major. Lucky me. At the end of the appointment, my doctor said "You know, […]
It was a gorgeous weekend here in Northern California, or so I am told. I wouldn't know any thing about that because I spent every minute inside sewing on my celebrity stunt sewing gig. You see, as honored as anyone would be to be asked to sew for a major figure in the quilting world, […]
